As if the fact that the snot from your nose freezing the second it touches this Polar Vortex-cursed air wasn't enough to make you SO SAD, The Wanted have broken up -- well, at least for the time being. Earlier today, Tom, Max, Siva, Jay, and Nathan announced that they're taking a hiatus after their upcoming tour, citing a collective decision to "take time to pursue personal endeavors."

Fine, maybe it's not a full-on "We are never ever ever getting back together"-style breakup since, per the boys' statement: "The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future." But, like, THAT'S KIND OF A BREAKUP, AMIRITE? At least for the time being.
